Revision history [back]

Hi - Currently while entering URL in browser does not support auto prediction for a text. It must have been deliberately done for design reasons as URL is not a proper word. However, the same text entry is also used for entering search terms or key words to search in Internet. For someone with bad typing skills, especially on touch device (embarrassed, feel my fingers are like Godzilla's ;-) ), this is a big PITA.

Am not sure how this could be handled. Perhaps a separate entry mode to search in Internet, activated by a toggle.

Update: I meant prediction from dictionary word. Not auto suggestions from web search engine which anyways happens inside the respective sites.
